STRATHCLYDE FRINGE
November 2nd 2025 - Zoom Only from 1:30pm
Scotland's Inter-Club Film Competition with a difference!
This long-running competition is usually based on a set theme which has been picked from the previous competition.
Sadly, this year, again, there has been little interest in making a film for this competition.
So, there will be somethign slightly different but still linked to the original aims of the competition -
But you'll have to be there to take part!
SAM Christmas Social
December 7th 2025 - ECVS 2:00pm / Zoom from 1:30pm
We're holding the Christmas Social in ECVS this year with some free cake and treats! We'll also have a film show and a Quiz!
We are still aiming to have the meeting on Zoom as well, so no formal dress, but feel free to wear a Chrismas Hat or Jumper! Top up your glasses, sit back and enjoy some excellent films.
We hope you enjoy them and welcome your comments. The Zoom meeting will only be available for the film show and if we can manage it, also the quiz!
Members Film Show
January 11th 2026 - ZOOM ONLY from 1:30pm
And the January Meeting is back AGAIN!
All members are asked to submit a film or two (short ones preferably!) for inclusion in the program.
This is a great opportunity to show a film that hasn't been seen in a while or possibly never been seen by other members.
Send in your film as soon as you can so we can compile them all.
Sadly, there will be no SAM Tea at the break!

AGM
The end of the season.
Every year the Committee try to put together an exciting, informative and competitive syllabus - but we do need some help to acheive this!
Organisations, like SAM, can't succeed if there's very little input from its members.
Getting involved couldn't be easier - Just make your voice heard at the AGM!
You can volunteer for the Committee, or if that's not for you, but you have ideas that you think the Committee should be exploring and possibly adding to next years
Syllabus - speak up and let us know! You can also write articles for the Newsletter about your filming or your Club or help out at the Events!
None of the events "just" happen, there is alot of discussion and plannng that happens behind the scenes - why not be part of it?
